Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Customs and Excise, Leke Abejide, has declared that President Bola Tinubu will win if former president Goodluck Jonathan contests in 2027.
Abejide said Tinubu will win more than 32 states in Nigeria if Jonathan should accept to contest the 2027 election.
The lawmaker representing the Yagba East/Yagba West/Mopamuro Federal Constituency, Kogi State, Leke Abejide, disclosed this during an interview on Mic On podcast with Seun Okinbaloye on Saturday.
There have been permutations that Jonathan would contest for the presidency in 2027.
Jonathan did one term as president before he was defeated by the late former President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.
But, cautioning against Jonathan’s return, Abejide said Tinubu may only lose in Anambra and Ebonyi States.
The African Democratic Congress, ADC, chieftain said: “My prayer is that they should run like that (different political platforms) and Asiwaju will win 32 states.
“He may lose maybe Anambra, Abia, he will win Ebonyi; he may win more than 32 states.”
On Tinubu being popular, he said: “I just came from Kano, I was in Kano on Wednesday and I slept there. I came to Kaduna by road yesterday morning.
“No insecurity, the road is very good, then I came by train to Abuja this morning and I can tell you that people are happy.”
